Example product security devices and associated methods are provided. An example product security device may include a first jaw and a second jaw that are operably coupled together to slide between an open position and a closed position. The example product security device may include a locking mechanism. In a locked state, the locking mechanism may permit movement of the first jaw towards the second jaw but prevent movement away from the second jaw. The example product security device may also include a product engagement pin. The product engagement pin may fasten the product security device to a product by piercing through the product and being received by the second jaw. A shroud having a shroud orifice may surround the product engagement pin and be operably coupled to the first jaw such that the shroud is movable relative to the product engagement pin.

The invention relates to a closing system having a key (1.1) coded in a quantum-physical manner, which withstands very high mechanical forces, wear, or temperatures. The key consists, for example, of a solid stainless-steel bar having, for example, a diameter of 8 mm and, for example, a length of 120 mm. The coding of the key (1.1) is based on a quantum-physical solid body cryptography. The matter of the solid main body is partially changed in such a way that this change can be read out by means of read-out methods suitable therefor. The coding occurs into the depth of the main body such that external influences such as damage to the surface do not impair the function of the key. The quantum key processed in such a way has no visible or perceptible features of the coding. More than 500 billion different codings are accommodated on a length of approximately 50 mm. The locking system comprises a decoding unit on the lock for decoding the codings, which have been introduced into the solid metal of the key in a quantum-physical manner. The arrangement according to the invention offers a locking system that is extremely resistant to forgery and manipulation, on the basis of quantum-physical solid body cryptography.

A housing can include a first part and a second part. Each of the first part and the second part can include a first surface, a second surface, a third surface, a fourth surface, and a fifth surface. The second surface can form a first edge with the first surface. The third surface can form a second edge with the second surface. The fourth surface can form a third edge with the third surface. The first part can be attached, via an attachment, to the second part so that the first surfaces form an exterior surface of the housing, the second surfaces abut each other, the third surfaces abut each other, the fourth surfaces abut each other, and the fifth surfaces define an interior space of the housing. The attachment can be within the interior space and can include an ultrasonic weld. The housing can house an antenna.
